'F**k Around And Find Out': 'Daily Show' Debuts Scathing Plan For Trump Republicans
HuffPost
Jordan Klepper and Desi Lydic looked at one option for Democrats on handling the incoming Trump administration.
“Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper spent much of his Thursday night monologue trashing Matt Gaetz, the former House Republican who is now President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general.
“Call me old-fashioned, but it seems to me like a guy who was recently investigated by the Justice Department isn’t the best fit to lead to Justice Department,” he said, referring to an investigation in a sex trafficking probe involving a 17-year-old girl.
No charges were brought and the probe was eventually dropped.
But Klepper is hardly alone in his dislike for Gaetz as even many Republicans aren’t thrilled with his nomination.
“If you’re wondering why does Matt Gaetz’s own party hate him so much, the answer would actually take some time,” he said, then tried to sum it up: “It’s not just the underage sex allegations. It’s also that he routinely attacks other Republicans, he doesn’t do any work himself, and his personal quest to overthrow Speaker Kevin McCarthy so divided his party a fellow Republican had to be restrained by the mouth from fighting him on the House floor.”
